Haynes Claims Goal - Ipswich Town News

Striker Danny Haynes says that he scored England's third goal during his U19 debut against Poland last night and not Everton's James Vaughan as widely reported. Haynes was introduced as a sub as the England youngsters defeated the Poles 4-1 at Bournemouth's Dean Court.

The Town frontman told the club site the third goal was his: "That's my goal!

"It was a great thrill to play for my country, it was wicked and I really enjoyed it.

"I went on at half-time and couldn't wait to get going and I was really pleased with the way it went.

"The football was a bit slower than I expected, but I settled into the game well and the manager said he was pleased with what I did.

"I knew some of the lads but it was my first experience of playing for my country so there were a few nerves, but it couldn't have gone any better.

"I was really disappointed to have missed out after getting named in the squad a few months back and then having to pull out with injury, but this makes up for it.

"It's given me a real lift, a real boost to my confidence."
